Structural Family Therapy

Structural Family Therapy is a therapeutic approach that focuses on understanding and changing the family dynamics and structures that influence behavior. Developed by Salvador Minuchin, it emphasizes the relationships and boundaries between family members. The therapist helps families identify and adjust dysfunctional patterns to create healthier interactions, promoting better communication and support. By examining how roles and hierarchies function within the family, this therapy aims to empower families to work together more effectively and resolve conflicts, ultimately improving their overall functioning and well-being.
